The Artichoke Pendent is a designer Light fixture manufactured by Louis Poulsen. It was designed by Poul Henningsen in 1958. The design centers on a 360-degree glare-free light created by 72 leaves, that resemble an artichoke. The light source or bulb cannot be directly viewed, the light is directed and reflected upon leaves until it illuminates the entire artichoke.
The Artichoke Pendent comes in copper, white or stainless steel and three different sizes. The leaves are laser-cut steel to produces shape lines reflective of modern design. The light is mounted by stainless steel cables to hold the unusual heavy weight of the light.
